When I was home from college this weekend, one of the shops in town was having their annual "Midnight Madness" noon to midnight sale. I stopped in about 10:30 and played a couple of guitars and then noticed that they had pickups for 40% off. Since I've been wanting to switch out the 59n in my SG for quite some time, I picked up the Jazz and put it in. Today I went out and got new strings and after tuning it up, my jaw dropped... It sounded so much more like I wanted from my neck spot. Cleans were much glassier, clearer, better balanced... Distorted chords were significantly beefier to my ears, and neck leads were way better - more singing, I would say.
The only problem I encountered was that after getting everything back in place, I was having trouble with my D and G strings fretting out at the 11th -13th frets. I *think* I have that figured out now though. I'll go back tomorrow and look at it again.
